Photoshop cs2 with windows 8.1

Hi
I've been using photoshop cs2 for some time and I just bought a new laptop that is windows 8.1
during installation it stops and wont proceed until I enter an organization and serial number.
I don't remember doing that in the previous install and I have no idea what I should enter. Is there a place
on my old computer's hard drive anywhere that would give me this information?
Darren

If you have an original CS2 CD and serial number, you should know activation has been retired and your old copy won't work.
The great news is that Adobe has provided an non-activated copy of CS2 and a new serial number free of charge to CS-CS2 owners.

Photoshop Cs2 with windows 7 64 bits

i find that the printer icon in the page setup page is missing.
can anyone help me to solve it, please.
i cannot select printer while i am in the page setup tab.
or it is a bug in photoshop cs2?

Windows 7 x64 is a separate build from Windows 7 32 bit. Windows 7 Ultimate comes with BOTH.
There isn't a separate package of Photoshop CS5 for 32 bit or 64 bit. Photoshop (since CS4) installs both 32 bit and 64 bit software on a 64 bit Windows system, or only 32 bit software on a 32 bit Windows system.
Photoshop CS5 is fine with every variant of Windows 7.
Photoshop CS5 is reportedly fine with modern AMD processors, though I have only used Intel.
The detailed system requirements are here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/systemreqs/
My own (personal, subjective) opinion is that ATI (AMD) video interfaces are better than nVidia.
Hope this answers your questions.

PhotoShop CS2 with Windows - via Bootcamp / Parallels

Hi All,
Hope you can help !
I am thinking of upgrading from G4 powerbook to an Intel MacBook. My main question is this:
I have a full copy of Photoshop CS2 for windows, will this run sufficently well under either bootcamp / parallels on a MacBook or will I need to upgrade to CS2/3 for MAC ?
Many thanks
RH/Nutwood

I have a full copy of Photoshop CS2 for windows, will this run sufficently well under either bootcamp / parallels
It will run fine on both of them.
It will run better using Bootcamp/Windows.

I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

I think you mean Photoshop CS2. Photoshop 2 is from around 1992. The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

Can i use the trial version of Photoshop CS6 with Windows XP - if so, where can i download it?

You might want to check this thread. Some have had success with CS5 on Windows 8, others not so lucky.

Photoshop CS2 and windows issues! help!

Hi, I'm working with someone who is having issues with Adobe Photoshop CS2 among other Adobe problems. The problem is that after Photoshop is loaded, the interface is very messed up. You can't open a file because if you go to menu -> file nothing happens. If you try to create something new, most of the buttons will be invisible in the option for sizes. The program simply becomes unusable. After a restart, the program will work properly for a short period of time and being to behave oddly again. On loading Photoshop, windows gives an error beep but the program loads anyways and no error window comes up. This happens on illustrator as well as indesign. I have uninstalled everything and removed all shared files that adobe uses and reinstalled everything from scratch, the same problem happens. This only started happening recently.
OS is XP pro SP3.
I am about to wipe the computer and start from scratch but I would rather not have to do this if there is another solution!
Please help! Thank you!

No, it's a standard U.S. keyboard and the language is set to english. I believe the software is up to date.
It doesn't freeze when you click on the menu, it just refuses to pop open a window when you try to open a file. Also, many of the option boxes in some of the windows in photoshop are invisible. This only happens after the computer has been on for a short while. Right after a reboot, you can open photoshop fine... until it stops working.

Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7 - unable to boot up after installing

Hi everyone, I really hope anyone can help me with this!!
Ok, I've always used Imageready CS2 to open avi files to edit then save as animation GIF without affecting quality (which part of PS CS2 that I did pay for) on my old laptop with Windows XP in the past.
Since then I've got a upgrade to PS CS5 (paid for) which I've installed successfully onto my new laptop with Windows 7 but till now, I'm dismayed to find that I'm unable to open avi files in PS CS5 just because I have 64 bit, not 32 bit even though I couldn't find the 32 bit program anywhere (apparently I found the 32 bit by searching in start up button but it still opens as 64 bit?).
So I thought I'd try installing PS CS2 into Windows 7 using my CD and found that the activation part doesn't work anymore which leads me to finding that I could download a copy of PS CS2 without the activation bit (yes I did the uninstall before installing PS CS2 without activation) everything was great BUT...untill I tried booting up my laptop next time, it wouldn't start up properly at all, it would only manage it to that Boot Screen Animation then blackness with the cursor in the middle or rarely to the log on screen that doesn't work but thats it so I had to do a system restore to get it back in working order minus the PS CS2
I thought it was the fault of other things I've downloaded at around same time like xvid decompressor codecs (so I could use VeeDub64) so I downloaded the codeces from different source and restarted to see if it boots up ok (it did) so I tried installing PS CS2 again but same thing happened on restart - failure to boot up and I had to do a few system restores (as some of the points didn't work ) before I barely got it back in working order yet again....
I see that some people have PS CS2 that works perfectly on Windows 7 with 64 bit because they changed the file path when installing the program? Or was I supposed to have the 32 bit program somewhere although maybe I don't have it since my PS CS5 is not extended? Would either of those work? To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to try as I may end up killing my laptop this time around and it's only around 2 years old!!
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

I'm happy to report that I've managed the resolve this issue of mine
After a little discussion with customer support through online chat today, I was still advised to try the uninstall and install to see what happens.
So I used the CC cleaner tool first, restarted then started by installing CS2 then CS5 using my serial numbers and made sure that I selected 32 and 64 bit programs to be installed
Anxiously, I restarted my laptop to see if it would reboot okay and thankfully it did *relief!*
Now I can open avi files using 32 bit of Photoshop CS5 without any problems (thank goodness!!)
I think I probably didn't install the 32 bit program when I first bought the installation CD, since I thought I didn't need it but never knew it was still required for editing avi files!!
Surprisingly, I still got to keep both versions of CS2 and CS5 this time around, as CS2 was simply replaced by CS5 when I first installed it two years ago....hmm.
So thank you again gener7!

Photoshop CS2 and Windows Vista 64 bit

I have just loaded Photoshop CS2 onto my new laptop which has Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit as its OS.
All working well except I notice that,when I made adjustments to a layer (for example,using curves to colour adjust,or even just brighten midtones),it takes a long time for any change to take place to the values of colour sample points which I may have applied to the background layer.
I usually place four colour sample points on my background image to monitor changes as I make adjustments. When I used Photoshop CS2 on my previous laptop which had Windows XP as its OS,changes were instant.
I have the cache level set at 6 in Preferences with 70% available RAM set.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Ian

A couple more ideas:
Make sure CS2 is fully updated. In Vista, turn the Aero interface on and off to see if it makes a difference.
Try the old standby of resetting preferences, as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Photoshop CS2 and Windows 7

I have Photoshop CS2 and recently acquired Windows 7. I want to bring images in directly to Photoshop but the images go through Photo Gallery in Windows. I can import them into PS, but i want them to come into PS directly. Also I cannot include images with an email through Photoshop. How can I change this?
Thank you,
Elena de la Varga

Did you download and install the replacement CS2 installer Adobe made available for their old CS2 customers?

This behavior is most likely happening when you connect you camera to your Windows system or Plug you Camera media card into your Window's card reader because the autoplay is set to open Windows Photo Gallery. You need to change the default but though I have CS2, CS6, CC an CC 2014 installed the only Adobe Autoplay options I see is Bridge CS6 and Bridge CC do not see Bridge or CS2
Also I cannot include images with an email through Photoshop. How can I change this?
What email application are you using that can use applications like Photoshop.

VBA code to import scanned images into Photoshop CS2 with TWAIN

Hi,
I have to develop a solution that automates the scanning of an image using the TWAIN driver interface. Once scanned, the image appears as a new document in Photoshop where it will be further processed using VBScript scripts.
The solution so far :
Using the freeware 'EZTW32.dll' (copied into C:\WINDOWS\System\), I am able to open the TWAIN scan dialogue on screen, using the function 'TWAIN_AcquireToClipboard(Me.Hwnd, nPixTypes) from the 'EZTW32' dll.
Once the image is scanned, the TWAIN driver is automatically closed, leaving the scanned image on the Windows clipboard.
I then launch Photoshop CS2 using a shell code :
(It is important that Photoshop runs minimized)
Dim strPathname As String
Dim lngShellReturn As Long
Dim appRef As Object
Dim newDocRef
strPathname = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Photoshop.exe"
lngShellReturn = Shell(strPathname, vbMinimizedNoFocus)
Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
When Photoshop is running, then a new document is created and the scanned image is pasted into the document from the Windows clipboard...
Set newDocRef = Documents.Add(8.268, 11.693, 600, "New Doc")
newDocRef.Paste
OK, this works up to a point. The newly scanned image appears automatically in Photoshop.
The big problem is that when the user makes a change in resolution or draws a selection box in the TWAIN dialog, this data is not recovered from TWAIN, so the image size parameters in the new document cannot be set.
A beter solution would be to write code that emulates the menu commands in Photoshop CS2:
File -> Import -> [Current Scanner]
that launches the TWAIN driver for the current scanner (the code must close TWAIN immediately after scanning). In this case, the resolution and image selection parameters are also imported into the new document.
I am currently refering to the Photoshop CS2 SDK. Do I need to request the Advanced SDK ?
Once beyond this point, then I think I can continue the image processing routines using VBScript as per the SDK.
Any help or other pointers to the TWAIN problem would be VERY APPRECIATED !
Lars

PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS POST !
I have now fully resolved the TWAIN problem. It works perfectly and is very robust. I am now continuing with the batch image processing for the newly scanned images using the Photoshop CS2 SDK scripting documents, that I find very detailed, well written, and VERY helpful :)
Peace and love,
Lars

How do i fix my photoshop cs2 for windows 7?

I got a new comp thats is running windows 7 and installed my photoshop cs2 software and at first everything seemed fine until i noticed some differences in the performance. When i try to draw witht he brush tool it is way to slow, for example i draw a line and i pick up the mouse but the photoshop is still drawing the line that should have been done in one mouse stroke. This is very annoying and it makes it difficult to draw and create things. Also the registration form pops up every single time i open photoshop and even though i keep registering or click do not register that window just keeps showing up. My computer has 8GB of ram and 1 TB of hard drive so its not a memory issue. If anyone knows any solution please help.

You are not running as administrator, I think, which may be required and the only way to properly work and register. Also check for compatibility mode settings, UAC and DEP, all of which may require to be adjusted for a legacy app like PS CS2 to run properly. Also turn off Aero and switch to a conventional visual theme. The brush issue may be related to that or is a more generic problem with your graphics card and mouse config, but since you didn't provide any info on that, it will be hard for anyone to advise.

CS2 with Windows 8.1

Is it possible to use CS2 (education version) with Windows 8.1? I tried to install with discs; it accepted photoshop but not beyond. Can it be downloaded and work? Is there a download from Adobe of this antique program? I don't need GoLive, only photoshop, illustrator, indesign and acrobat pro.
If not, I will have to get Adobe CC, but I would rather not.
